Nigeria Shippers Association NSA says moving items from the seaports to locations where they are needed for manufacturing is shipper’s greatest challenge.
The association’s Secretary-General, Ijeoma Ezeasor, told Newsmen that this among other challenges had led to increased cost of shipping in the country.
She said too many shipping regulators was another challenge being faced by Nigerian shippers.
Ezeasor said that there was need for interconnectivity between the different modes of transportation.
According to Ezeasor, Nigeria has spent so much money and is also borrowing a lot of money for the purpose of railway.
She said that the country could not recover such huge sum of money only from passengers we have to infuse cargo into that.
The secretary-general expressed optimism that the recent Experts Committee Meeting of the Union of African Shippers Council UASC would help address the increased cost of and other challenges faced by shippers in the country.
